Prerequisite: N402/N150 or permission of instructor. This course is
a continuation of N401/N100 and N402/N150. There will be a review
and continuation of grammar with short weekly quizzes. Major
attention will be paid to improving grammar, reading, speaking, and
writing skills. As conversation is stressed, class participation is
important. In order to achieve the maximum enthusiasm in the class
discussions, students will be invited to bring up topics of their
interest. There will be short weekly quizzes and several short
papers based on text materials we discuss in class. Each student
will be required to give a presentation in class on a Dutch subject
topic to be selected in consultation with the instructor. Grading
will entail: weekly quizzes, a midterm, a presentation, an oral
examination, a couple of short papers and a final paper.
